Learn Turkish: Bu kırmızı kazak çok güzel. - This red sweater is very beautiful.

In Turkish, adjectives always go right before the noun they describe, exactly like they do in English. So, "red sweater" translates directly to kırmızı kazak.

If I want to say "this red sweater," does bu always come first?

Yes. When you have a pointer word (like bu for "this" or o for "that") along with an adjective, the word order is exactly like English: Pointer + Adjective + Noun. That is why the sentence starts with bu kırmızı kazak.

Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?

There isn't a separate word for it here! In simple Turkish sentences, you often do not need a word for "is." You just place the subject (bu kırmızı kazak) next to its description (çok güzel), and the "is" is naturally understood by the listener.

Can güzel mean things other than "beautiful"?

Yes! While güzel literally means "beautiful," it is heavily used in everyday Turkish as the standard word for "nice" or "good." Depending on the context, you could also translate this sentence as "This red sweater is very nice."
